Hi All,
Just wondering if I should have any concern over the early chatter marks that are forming on this stem. The pipe is fairly heavy, so I imagine I'm clenching a bit more than usual, but I'm surprised to see such deep marks emerge so quickly. Does this have anything to do with the quality of the stem? Is there any danger of puncturing the stem if I continue to clench like this? Can these marks be removed by heat? FYI, the stem has already been sanded down quite a bit for ease of clenching.
Thanks for the help,
David
